There is a separate section for Buying, Selling and Trading - the B/S/T area!! If you give an opinion of a person or company your full name needs to be in your post. Contact the moderator at leon@net54baseball.com should you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy!

Sperling seems to be 69 years old and lives in New Jersey which is where "these consignors" (ball artists?) live. I believe (thanks to one Net54 person sharing with me) that some of the letters were purchased on ebay to make some of these LOA's. Some of us know who these artists are. I have known for years. These guys want to get caught so whoever has authoritative power on this board to begin an investigation (or jump start it if there was one) because it's been going on for over 25 years (hasn't it been long enough?) How about you contact me?

They should bust them for mail fraud if not anything else for selling and shipping fake items across the country. Since they are fake it should be illegal Not sure if that is considered mail fraud but it sounds good and nothing else seems to work to bring them down.

Paul is right. Some of us know who these guys are. An investigation was begun. A knowledgeable US Atty was involved. A postal inspector was involved. Then it just ended. Leaving those involved very frustrated.
I keep hoping that another Fed investigation would get started. I keep hoping.
It is like hoping they would kill Osama Bin Laden, eventually it did happen.
